The Wife and Her Purse.

Few men can understand how hard
it is for sensitive, high-spirited woman
to ask for money even from her own
husband, although such a custom as
putting the empty household purse on
the hall table with his hat should help
to open the vision of dull marital eyes,
and make him suspect that possibly
there are other needs besides supplying
his and his children's material wants
for which good wife may crave On in
dependent purse, and that as he-yet
with no desire to hide his expenditure
does not feel it his duty to bring
home his cigar and lunch bills, so she
might like to have pocket regularly
filled, into which, uncriticised, she may
dip for the extra present, or book, or
philanthropic clad"
So binding is custom amongst respect
able people that even when woman
has fortune of her own at marriage
she meekly transfers not only it's
charge, but the disbursement of it's in
come, to her husband, puts entirely
aside her responsibility as free agent
intrusted with certain stewardship.
and sinks into the orthodox, obedient
wife, who cannot give away even
pitiable percentage without his consent.
Some may say that woman who thus
acts, when the law gives her control of
her own means, shows lack of sense
but we are contending against a social
law, that form of law more binding
on women than statutes or codes. It is
the unwrltten law on our hearts, and
minds, and consciences which controls
and regulates all relations of life that
are duly and reverently ordered; and
these are the supreme tribunals whose
DEGREES women can quietly influence,
and by which mems actions can be more
strongly affected than by the most
drastic Legislative enactments or re-
nowned divorce-court decisions.
Social and domestic habits make or
mar happiness, therefore it is here that
good women should try to bring about
needed wise reforms and changes-re-
forms and changes which, fifty and
thoughtfully championed, will produce
results in our homes very different
from those we fear may grow out Of
the demands of o so-called radical
element whose false ideas If roforp,
threaten destruction of much that
women hold and must always hold
sacred.
Every woman blessed in having a
husband who treats her as a fiscal
partner, as we'll as q beloved wife,
should try to increase the number OF
her class, first by witnessing to the
tendency Of such conduct to Increase

GENTLEu.aNLY DOG.

There is dog who lives in one Of

widow, who lives alone, is willing toeS

She is little afraid of the visits Of
tramps who pass her house on the way
to Boston. The farmer who owns the
dog, therefore, when he sees susple'
lous character coming up the road, says
to his dog:
"Jack, go over to Mrs. HIS and sit Oh
her piazza till the tramp gets by"
Whereupon the dog, who is large
st. Bernard, flies over to Mrs. HIS, posts
himself at the door, and if the tramp
comes up the walk steps forward anu

An Organization of the New England
Cutters Formed.
Boston, April 18.-The boot and shoe
cutters of New England have been to a con-
siderable extent connected with the Knights
Of Labor for some time past, but, owing to
dissatisfaction with the workings of that or
ganization, quite large number of the craft
have formed an independent union. 1t is
intended by the projectors of the movement
to give the union scope similar to that of
the Lasters' Protective union, but more
effort will be made to adjust all difficulties
by arbitration rather than resort to the
strike There are some 5000 cutters in New
England.
An executive board has been chosen, con-
sisting of the following: President E. B,
Saunders of Natick; vice-president, Paul A.
Pathe Of Milford; secretary, w. w. Main of
Newburyport; treasurer, Archie Boyd of
Marblehead; Charles A Maxwell of Haver-
hill and Miner B. Putnam.
A committee is soon to be appointed to
thoroughly organize every town and city
in New England, and from present appear
anccs it is thought by members of the
executive board that nearly every cutter
will have joined before the end Of the
year.

AN IMPORTANT SUIT.

Largo Frauds Charged in the Settlement
Of the Knowles Steam Pump Busi-
ness.
WORCESTER, Mass, April 19.-The Sib-
ley-Knowles case is being heard in this city
by George K. Richardson, Of Lowell, mas
ter in chancery, x-Representative Rice and
his associate representing the Sibley heirs
and Senator Hoar and Messrs. Hill the ex-
ecutors Of the estate Of Lucius ]. Knowles.
This suit involves several hundred thousand
dollars, alleged to have been fraudulently
kept from the Sibleys by Knowles, he and
Sibley being the inventors Of the
Knowles steam pump, as well as the
manufacturers of it. Mr.. Sibley was forced
out Of the firm through business reverses, he
having erected q, 600, 900 cotton mill at
Warren, and was forced to fail in conse-
quence Of the Boston fire Of 1872. He trans
ferred his interest in the pump works to his
wife before the failure, and, later, Mrs.
Sibley was induced, through false state
ments, to sign release to Knowles, that he
might sell the estate. The books which
were kept from the Sibleys show sad state
of affairs, being generally mutilated and
changed. Shortages amounting to many
thousand dollars have been found.

quarterly session of district assembly 1874,
Knights of Labor, of New Hampshire, con-
vened in Concord yesterday with full at
tendance, Master Workman Daniel J. Muir
ply presiding. The reports of committees
showed the order to be in healthy condi-
tion throughout the state. A new discipline
has been enforced, and the order is in better
shape than ever before. David M. Ladd
rendered his resignation as recording and
financial secretary, and John F. Gleason, Of
Manchester, was elected to those positions
The issue between the general Knights Of
Labor principles and trade unionism was
closely drawn, and resolutions were adopted
approving the action of T. V. Powderly in
maintaining the doctrines of the Knights of
Labor, indorsing his declaration that ''the
knights of Labor must not be subordinate
to any other labor organization on earth, :"
and pledging themselves to individual 10y
atty and support in purging the organization
of the anarchistic element which at one
time imperiled the intents of the order.

SQUATTERS MAY FIGHT.

Soldiers on Their Way to Drive Off the
Settlers From the Crow Creek and
Winnebago Reservations.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April 10. - A
Pierre, Dak., special says: Company E, of
the Eleventh infantry, stationed at Fort
Sully, has received orders to proceed at
once to the Winnebago and Crow Creek
reservations and drive the settlers from
those lands, and the company, under com
maSx oAt,a Myers, is on its way to the
reservation. The military orders are re-
ported to be strict, calling for the destruc-
tion of property, if necessary, and the use
Of firearms. The greatest excitement
exists, and it would not be surprising to see
miniature Riel rebellion inaugurated on
these lands. These reservations were thrown
open by the Arthur administration Feb. 25,
1884, and thousands of honest settlers
rushed in and took possession of claims.
The ground was plowed, houses built, and
the work of improvement continued until
President Cleveland revoked Arthur's
proclamation and rendered void the settlers
claims

Revision of the Constitution Now Fin.
ished.
Boston, April 14.-The committee on
law, appointed at the last general assembly
of the Knights of Labor at Richmond, for
the purpose of revising the constitution of
that body, has finished its work in Philadel-
phia.
The new constitution, will per-
init the formation of national trades dis
tricts, but those local assemblies exclusively
composed of one trade but attached to dis
trict assembly Of mixed nature with mixed
and trade assemblies), must first obtain the
permission OF the district assembly in order
to 60 out and form a national trade district.
After obtaining this consent they must for
ward their application to the general secre-
tary, who will lay the matter before the
general executive board, and the secretary
will then submit the matter to all the local
assemblies of that craft in the country.
Every local assembly must obtain per-
mission from the district assembly
to which it is attached, before it can
60 on strike. II a strike is inaugurated
without permission from the district assem-
bly, the penalty affixed is that the charter
shall be revoked. The same law applies
equally to the district assemblies. This will
prevent strikes by locals that have only
been recently formed and know little or
nothing about organization or discipline.
The constitution as revised will be SUBJ
mitted to the local assemblies for accept
ance or rejection, and the result must be
forwarded to the general executive board
through the secretary in certain time to be
fixed by the board If the result of the vote
is not returned within that certain time the
assembly will be counted as voting in the
affirmative. The constitution cannot be
amended in the future without giving forty
days notice to the assemblies of the pro-
posed change.

PARNELLISN and Crime
A SERIOUS tMPUTATloN AGAINST THE
HOME RULE LEADER.
A DAMAGING LETTER PURPORTING
70 BE SIGNED ny HIN.

Documentary Evidence Published by The
London Times-The Murder of Lord
Cavendish Regretted, But Burke Got
No More Than His Deserts.
LONDON, April 18.-The Times, as proof
Of its assertion at the conclusion of its
articles on "Parnellism and Crime" that it
had further documentary evidence, prints a
fac-simile Of letter signed by Mr.. Parntll
supposed to have been addressed to Egan to
pacify his subordinates when Parnell
publicly denounced the Phoenix Park
murders. The letter fills one side of an
ordinary sheet Of note paper, and is in a
strange handwriting. "Yours, very truly,
Charles 8. Parnell," in Parnell's writing, is
at the top Of the other leaf The Times
suggests that the signature was thus written
30 that 1t could be torn Off II necessary.
The letter, which is dated simply 10, 8, 81,
without an address, is as follows:
Dear Sir: am not surprised at your
friends anger, but he and you should know
that to denounce the murder was the only
course open to us. To do that promptly
was plainly our best policy. But you can

Burke got no more than his deserts You
are at liberty to show him this, and others
whom you can trust also. But let not my
address be known. He can write to the
house Of commons.
LONDON, April 19.-In an interview Mr..
Parnell pointed out that although at first
sight some Of the letters in The Times fac
simile appeared to resemble his au-
tograph, close comparison shows decided
and striking difference in many important
points The forgery slopes upward, the
genuine handwriting downward. Mr..
Parnell always places a full point after
the initial ''S' in his name, which the
forgery omits. The "s' in "Parnelr' and
the &c" in "Chas." are quite different
from anything he has ever written. The
letters och" in "Chas'' are abnormally
long, and the "S" and ''P'' are the only
letters in any way resembling his genuine
autograph. The pen at the be-
ginning of "a'' in the forged
"Chas.'' was evidently taken off the
paper, whereas in the genuine signature it is
always written without break. The for
gerry, Mr.. Parnell says, is the work of a
person accustomed to penmanship and writing
a flowing hand, whereas his own writing
is always in a cramped style. Mr.. Parnell
further said that the letter and signature
were impudent forgeries and that he strongly
suspected the identity of the forger He
was undecided whether to prosecute The
Times or not.
